Circular CSSF 18/698: Authorization and Organization of Luxembourg Investment Fund Managers and AML/CFT Provisions for Fund Managers and Registrar Agents
The Luxembourg financial regulator CSSF issued Circular 18/698 to mandate comprehensive authorization and organizational standards for domestic investment fund managers. The directive imposes targeted anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls on fund managers and registrar agents, while formally repealing and updating previous circulars governing risk management, dispute resolution, and FATF jurisdictional compliance. These requirements strengthen corporate governance, enhance regulatory oversight, and ensure consistent application of financial crime prevention measures across the Luxembourg fund industry.
